Delusional
In all fairness to Sen. Kerry, given the climate at the time, he really had absolutely no choice but to vote for military action in Iraq.
************************************************** *******
Yes, the polls told him to do so. Like most Democrat politicians, Kerry is a slave to the polls rather than his principles. When the polls supported the war, Kerry, Kennedy, Edwards and Pelosi became warhawks in their words and their VOTES. Now, the polls say the war is becoming unpopular so Bush43 sticks to his principles while Kerry, Edwards, Kennedy, etc... have done a 180.
I agree that it was wrong of him not to do his own check of the intelligence which lead to the vote for military action in Iraq, but even if he had, he really had no choice but to vote in favor of it.
************************************************** ********
Huh!? Is not Kerry on the intelligence committee? and yet you CLAIM he did not check the intelligence? WRONG. The CIA checks the intelligence. The CIA processess the raw data, devlopes their conclusions, and these conclusions are given to the intelligence committees and the president. Are you claiming that the intellgence said there is no WMD in Iraq?????? To claim this you have to believe that:
1. All the Repubs read the intelligence reports.
2. All the Repubs lied to the American public about what the intelligence really said.
3. All the democrats on the intelligence committees skip these briefings while asking the Repubs to "take notes for them" and then stated that Iraq had WMD while INNOCENTLY spreading untruths not knowing their intelligence notes from the Repubs trick them into thinking Iraq had WMD.

You are very entertaining. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Sorry buddy but you are delusional. There are volumes of quotes on record of Kennedy, Kerry, Edwards, Pelosi, etc... stating that Iraq illegally possessed WMD. But in your world of make believe Bush was lying but Kerry and the rest of the Democrats were not lying. <shaking my head> How can you reason with the delusional?
